Non-Columbus State Faculty Hired as Department Chairperson Sample Clauses

Non-Columbus State Faculty Hired as Department Chairperson. Any chairperson who was not a faculty member at the College at the time of hire must go through the regular hiring process for an open faculty position if s/he desires to become a faculty member. In such cases, the Xxxx will appoint an Associate Professor or Full Professor from the department or a chairperson from another division to chair the hiring committee. If the full-time faculty within the department who are serving on the search committee for that vacancy agree that the chairperson who wishes to transfer into that position meets the qualifications for the vacant position, then they may mutually decide to forego the normal search process and allow the chairperson to transfer into the vacant position. If the full-time faculty within the department who are serving on the search committee for that vacancy wish to interview other candidates for the vacant position and do not mutually decide to forego the normal search process, then the chairperson desiring a transfer may still apply for the vacant position through the normal full-time faculty search process. Placement in rank and eligibility for tenure shall be mutually determined by the College and the Columbus State Education Association.
